coronary care unit (CCU)

A Coronary Care Unit (CCU) is a specialized area in a hospital dedicated to monitoring and treating patients with severe heart problems, such as heart attacks or ongoing cardiac issues. It is equipped with advanced monitoring devices and staffed by specialized healthcare providers who can respond quickly to changes in a patient's condition. The CCU provides continuous heart monitoring, medication management, and advanced treatments to support and stabilize patients until their condition improves or they can be transferred to a regular hospital ward.
